Edit this paragraph 4. Musical Characteristics

Start from The moment the album's first song "Don't Know Why" begins, her misty and gentle voice grips the soul, and the piano overflows with longing. Every song on the record is full of charm, especially the poetic lyrics, which seem to be everywhere. The scenery is mesmerizing and mesmerizing. The debut album sold more than 9 million copies worldwide and stayed on the US Billboard album chart for 48 weeks. It achieved astonishing sales of one million in the first week of release in the United States, and subsequent albums also sold well, allowing NORAH JONES to achieve a perfect combination of art and business. There are always singers like this. When we meet them for the first time When I encounter her singing, I feel cordial, as if I have known him for a long time. The intimacy of their singing and music, the light and shadow of their exquisite interpretations of the songs attract us, and beautiful images take shape in our imaginations. This is the case with Norah Jones. In her music, we can vaguely feel the influence of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Fleetwood Mac, and Tom Waits. Her singing often makes people feel that she has a maturity and sophistication that is inconsistent with her age. NORAH JONES, who plays the jazz piano well, has received unanimous praise from critics like ALICIA KEYS at the same time: "NORAH JONES's jazz has a different kind of blue, which is elegant and can directly touch the depths of the soul." Listen to her Sensitive ears can often catch the melancholy protagonists in the songs. But she said: "I'm not depressed at all. That's the funny thing. I'm really not. I don't know why." She sang many cover songs, but she chose songs that she found beautiful. Those songs were not written by her and have nothing to do with her personally, so she said: "I understand the feeling that the music wants to convey, because I think they are beautiful. I can understand why others say I am depressed, but I am not like that." In fact, Long before the first album came out, "Jazz Princess" was used to the lonely days of playing and singing by herself in the bar. She once recalled: "The guests in the bar are often not listening to your singing, they are even more I don’t want to listen to you, I’m used to that kind of environment.” Norah once tried to give up her ideals. It was during a very bad time that she wanted to go home and be an ordinary Texas girl. Fortunately, my mother's words created the jazz princess we have today: "You should stay there, otherwise, you will feel like a loser." Fortunately, within a year, Nora signed a contract, and she has since found a voice that the world can listen to. To the place of your own voice. Starting from Not Too Late, Nora touches on the dark side of society and politics. MY DEAR COUNTRY (the lyrics mention election day, no one to trust & darker and darker) was written on the eve of the 2004 election. It sounds even more mixed today. Surprisingly, Norah participated in the creation of every song in this album, and the production was completed quietly at home with friends, without the company knowing.
